The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Slide smash
Slide smashing, also known as smash dashing or hyphen smashing, is a simple, but useful technique. To do it, simply dash and use an up smash; the player's character will slide to a stop while performing their up smash. All characters can slide Smash.
Application
The most obvious use for the slide smash is as an alternative to using the character's dash attack, which is generally mediocre to weak in terms of power; many dash attacks also leave the character vulnerable where as the slide smash is generally difficult to punish. Another use is simply as a set-up to an up-smash, which can be used to combo or to kill. Finally, for fast characters such as Sonic, Captain Falcon, and Marth a slide smash covers decent distance, which is useful for approach.
